Hemingwaysl--spies

There was an interesting program on television tonight (105 Comcast Cable in Branford, Ct.) which featured a naval intelligence officer and historian speaking to a group in Washington about the purported spying activities of  Ernest Hemingway, his brother, Leicester,  and his son Bumby during WWII. Apparently all three worked with the O.S.S., while the great American author signed up for a brief stint with the KGB in  Cuba. If that doesn't have you laughing, Ernest used his fishing boat to take on Nazi submarines with hand grenades provided by Russian intelligence. Apparently, there is proof that this is true, although I prefer to think of him in Gertrude Stein's circles, dropping Madeleines down the proverbial hatch.
